What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility!

“Xiao Yan…”

Xiao Ding stared blankly at Xiao Yan’s figure, her heart pounding violently, tears instantly wetting her eyes.

Xiao Yan slightly turned his head, looking at Xiao Ding with an expression of intense apology in his eyes.

Xiao Yan had thought that he would never feel afraid no matter what happened in his life.

But just now, hiding in the dark and watching Xiao Ding and Xiao Yixian fight desperately for revenge, Xiao Yan was truly afraid.

He should never have agreed to fake his death at the request of Yin Shi from the beginning.

If something happened to Xiao Ding and Xiao Yixian here, Xiao Yan would live the rest of his life in endless guilt.

Xiao Yan’s gaze shifted to a slightly more distant place, where Xiao Yixian was still unconscious in the sand, and his heart suddenly felt unbearable pain.

When Xiao Yan saw the drastically changed appearance of Xiao Yixian, Yao Chen told him through the ring that Xiao Yixian had obviously taken a massive amount of poison to gain this Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) level strength.

She was exchanging her life just to seek revenge for him.

Boss Yao trusted him so much that he entrusted Xiao Yixian to him. If something really happened to Xiao Yixian, Xiao Yan would truly have no face to face Boss Yao who had passed away.

Fortunately, Senior Yao comforted him, saying that he had a solution, which eased Xiao Yan’s pain a little.

But the guilt remained undiminished.

And why did Yun Zhi come here?

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He was too far away to hear Yun Yun’s self-identification.

But he vaguely guessed that Yun Yun came here because of the article published by Yin Shi.

However, now was not the time to consider this issue.

Xiao Yan turned his head back and looked up at Queen Medusa, speaking firmly.

“Your Majesty, may I speak again?”

The high and mighty Queen Medusa lowered her head to look at this righteous young man, unconsciously seeing Xiao Ding’s figure in him.

After a moment, Queen Medusa’s slender jade fingers lightly lifted her veil, smiling.

“Alright, since you’re Xiao Li’s brother, I’ll listen to what you have to say.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Xiao Yan expressed his gratitude to Queen Medusa in a respectful tone, then turned to look at Nalan Jie who had come with him.

“Grandpa Nalan!”

“Mm!”

Nalan Jie nodded heavily, waved his sleeve, and several white-robed individuals frozen in ice were thrown in front of Xiao Yan, including Yin Ke of the Snake-People Tribe.

“What’s this?”

Seeing these unfamiliar people constrained by ice, Queen Medusa frowned slightly, and when she saw Yin Ke, Yan Ci and Hei Du’s expressions tightened, their eyes revealing intense killing intent.

This guy is…

At this moment, Xiao Yan clasped his fists and loudly explained the identities of these people.

“Your Majesty! These white-robed individuals belong to the same force as the unidentified attackers who have been repeatedly assaulting the Snake-People Tribe, and this Snake-Person is a spy who conveyed the positions of the Snake-People’s tribe leaders to them. The reason those unidentified attackers could repeatedly succeed and retreat safely is because of him!”

Sure enough!

After listening to Xiao Yan’s narration, Yan Ci and Hei Du immediately became furious! Even though they had already guessed the existence of a spy beforehand, they couldn’t contain the anger in their hearts!

And Mo Ba Si, who knew nothing from beginning to end, was suddenly stunned in place when he saw Xiao Yan appear, his head full of question marks.

Xiao Li’s brother is still alive?

And after Mo Ba Si listened to Xiao Yan’s narration, the golden snake youth suddenly shrank.

The next moment, an uncontrollable black Dou Qi gushed out from Mo Ba Si body, even in front of Queen Medusa, he couldn’t suppress the surging anger and killing intent in his heart!

No wonder!

No wonder!!!

No wonder all the tribe leaders have been on guard all the time but still couldn’t catch the attackers! No wonder those attackers could succeed repeatedly!!!

It’s all because of this traitor! So many compatriots died because of him!!!!!

Before Mo Ba Si’s mindset changed, the most hated thing besides humans was traitors!!!

And Yin Ke, who had been knocked unconscious by Xiao Yan earlier, woke up at this moment, his eyes opening groggily.

The first thing he saw was Mo Ba Si’s extremely fierce face! Then, Mo Ba Si’s furious roar!!!

“Damn traitor! I’ll tear you to pieces!!!!”

Mo Ba Si brandished his long halberd and charged towards Yin Ke. Seeing this scene, Yin Ke, who had just awakened, instantly became sober, his nerves jumping frantically, his mind filled with fear!

However, he was bound by ice and couldn’t move, only able to watch helplessly as Mo Ba Si charged towards him!

“Mo Ba Si!”

A long whip suddenly surged from the side, pulling Mo Ba Si back, and then the voice of Yue Mei entered Mo Ba Si’s ears.

“Xiao Yan brought this guy here not for you to vent your anger!”

Being pulled back by Yue Mei and then yelled at, Mo Ba Si’s shoulders still trembled with anger, but he eventually distinguished the urgency of the situation, forcibly suppressing his impulse and slowly retreated, afraid that he would lose control and rush forward to chop Yin Ke.

However, his piercing gaze still firmly fixed on Yin Ke without moving away for a moment.

Yin Ke, who had been knocked unconscious by Xiao Yan and then awakened to such a great shock, now had a chaotic mind, instinctively gasping for air heavily, and his body trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Yan looked at Yin Ke’s terrified side face, his eyes showing no sympathy.

Because of this guy, so many of his kin had died, and Xiao Ding had made no progress.

If it weren’t for him, Xiao Yan wouldn’t have agreed to fake his death, Xiao Yixian and Xiao Ding wouldn’t have risked their lives for him, and things wouldn’t have escalated to such a tense situation now!

As Jian Xing Tian looked down at Yin Ke below, hope rose in his heart that had already fallen into an ice cellar!

There’s still hope!

While Jian Xing Tian was so excited inside, he also understood clearly that Queen Medusa no longer trusted him at all.

Every word he said would only backfire since he had completely lost Queen Medusa’s trust.

It was best to shut up and watch quietly. That was the optimal solution.

With this decision in his heart, Jian Xing Tian looked at Xiao Yan’s figure, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Xiao Yan, lad, the future of the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Tribe depends on you…

Apart from Jian Xing Tian, there were two people staring at Xiao Yan with extremely ugly expressions.

They were Yan Luo Tian and Wu Ya.

The two of them understood clearly that if they let Xiao Yan continue speaking, Queen Medusa, who had already been swayed, might go back to her original position!

Yan Luo Tian and Wu Yan exchanged a glance, and Wu Yan nodded slightly. A barely perceptible purple aura emerged from behind Wu Yan and disappeared into the sand below, gradually spreading towards Xiao Yan.

Just a little more… just a little bit more…

As long as Xiao Yan falls, Queen Medusa won’t listen to anyone else present!

Wu Ya’s movements were extremely subtle.

But even so, Queen Medusa noticed it.

After all, they were Snake-People, naturally adept at playing with poison.

However, Queen Medusa did not intervene.

Or rather, whether she intervened or not, it was not important to her or the Snake-People.

Similarly, whether Xiao Yan could continue speaking was also not important.

And Jian Xing Tian and the others did not react to Wu Yan’s covert actions.

If the poison gas was aimed at them, they would surely have detected it first.

But the poison gas was targeting Xiao Yan, and their attention was focused on him, not paying attention to Xiao Yan’s surroundings.

This made it easy for the poison gas to spread to Xiao Yan’s feet.

Next, as long as it climbed onto Xiao Yan’s body, Wu Yan was confident that he could poison Xiao Yan to death immediately!

Then, control would return to their side!

Just as Wu Yan was ecstatic about the impending success, a female hand suddenly reached out from behind Xiao Yan, as if grabbing something tangible, firmly grasping the invisible purple aura.

?!

This sudden movement startled everyone, including Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan turned his head abruptly, only to see Xiao Yixian, who had awakened at some point, crouching beside him.

She slightly lifted her head, shaking the purple aura she held in her hand towards Xiao Yan, her moist eyes already regaining their luster, smiling gently at Xiao Yan.

“Xiao Yan, it seems your brain isn’t that useful after all.”

“Xiao Yixian…”

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the smiling Xiao Yixian, feeling a surge of emotion as he looked at her tired face.

Jian Xing Tian and Hai Bodong noticed the purple aura in Xiao Yixian’s hand immediately, their faces twisted with anger as they glared at Wu Yan.

“Wu Yan! Do you really want to die?!!!”

Jian Xing Tian roared furiously. If Xiao Yan fell, Queen Medusa wouldn’t listen to anyone else present!

“Hmph! I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”

Wu Yan naturally wouldn’t admit it, snorting coldly and turning his head away, filled with regret.

It was so close! Just a little bit more!

He glared at Xiao Yixian with resentment and astonishment in his eyes.

Even Jian Xing Tian and the others didn’t notice my actions, but this girl, clearly just a Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level), could actually detect it?!

And she even reached out boldly to grasp the poison gas I released, yet she was completely unaffected. Who is she?!

Hearing Jian Xing Tian’s roar, Xiao Yan’s head cleared up again. He looked up at Wu Yan’s indifferent expression.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but think of Xiao Li.

His sister must have encountered many similar situations in the past half year…

Clearly doing the right thing, but there were always people secretly obstructing, even trying to take her life.

But the more these people did, the more Xiao Yan wanted to fight back! His sister must have been the same back then!

Xiao Yan lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yixian, his eyes filled with apology as he reached out to her.

“Xiao Yixian, I’m sorry, I—”

“Forget about me for now.”

Xiao Yixian seemed not to notice Xiao Yan reaching out to her, waving away the purple aura in her hand and slowly standing up with the support of the sand.

At the same time, she subtly moved away from Xiao Yan.

Then, she tilted her head slightly and smiled softly at Xiao Yan.

“Go do what you need to do now.”

“—Yes!”

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, reaching out to pull the terrified one-eyed white-robed man over, and then the ice that had frozen his body placed him next to Yin Ke.

“This guy is the human who was in contact with Yin Ke, belonging to the same force as the unidentified attackers who have been repeatedly assaulting the Snake-People Tribe.”

The one-eyed white-robed man glanced fearfully at the circle of elders in the air. Among them, besides the leader of the Snake-People Tribe, he only recognized two people: the guardian of the Jia Ma Royal Family, Jian Xing Tian, and the Snake-People Queen, Medusa.

The identities of any of these individuals made him extremely clear.

There was no way he could escape this time.

It was even possible that death wouldn’t be so peaceful.

“So, sir,” Xiao Yan squatted down, turning to face the one-eyed white-robed man closely, “who is the force behind you?”

To Xiao Yan’s inquiry, the one-eyed white-robed man lowered his head, saying nothing.

The situation remained stagnant for a long time.

In the end, it was Mo Ba Si who couldn’t hold back his anger.

“You damned traitor! Are you going to talk or not?!”

Just as Mo Ba Si was about to rush forward, Xiao Yan quickly turned to stop him.

“Leader Mo Ba Si, whether by threat or temptation, the results obtained are not convincing.”

Xiao Yan turned around again, squatting down once more to face the one-eyed white-robed man directly.

“Sir, can you look at me?”

Hearing Xiao Yan’s gentle voice, the one-eyed white-robed man slowly raised his head, looking at Xiao Yan with some confusion in his lone eye.

“You… don’t you hate me?”

The one-eyed white-robed man already knew that the young man in front of him was Xiao Li’s brother, and all their actions over the past half year had been aimed at obstructing Xiao Li, even attempting to assassinate her several times.

In this situation, why was Xiao Yan still so calm towards him?

Upon hearing the one-eyed white-robed man’s question, Xiao Yan remained silent for a while before answering softly.

“To be honest, yes, I do.”

“Firstly, your involvement in the slave trade goes against my principles.”

“Secondly, you have repeatedly obstructed my sister’s actions and frequently disrupted the trust between her and the Snake-People Tribe by disturbing their territory.”

“Lastly, you have attempted to assassinate my sister several times without success, which is the most reason for my hatred towards you.”

“If something really happened to my sister, I probably wouldn’t be talking to you so calmly right now.”

“It’s very likely that I would have killed you the moment we met, and I wouldn’t have cared about the consequences.”

Xiao Yan spoke candidly.

For Xiao Yan, there were many important people.

Among all these people, Xiao Ding was definitely the most important.

It was both Xiao Ding, his sister, who had done everything in her power to mend Xiao Yan’s broken heart when he felt the pain of losing their mother in his childhood.

Although Xiao Li was doing the same thing, and Xiao Yan was indeed grateful to Xiao Li, there was no doubt that Xiao Yan valued Xiao Ding more.

No matter who, no matter for what reason, no matter what Xiao Ding did.

If anyone harmed Xiao Ding, Xiao Yan swore to kill them!

Even if it meant abandoning his principles!!!

With a deep sigh, Xiao Yan continued to speak.

“Fortunately, my sister is fine, and that’s why I can talk to you so calmly.”

“If you really don’t want to talk, I won’t force you. If I did, even if you told the truth under torture, it wouldn’t be convincing. It would just be a coerced confession, which wouldn’t be credible.”

“If you’re unwilling to speak, I’ll go ask others.”

The one-eyed white-robed man stared blankly at Xiao Yan, his mind in turmoil.

He had already prepared himself for torture.

But why was this young man in front of him not behaving according to expectations? Was he a fool?

After hesitating for a while, the one-eyed white-robed man shook his head and refused to answer.

“This guy! Are you taking us for fools?!!”

Seeing the one-eyed white-robed man’s shameless behavior, Hai Bodong erupted in anger on the spot, about to rush forward and teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Jian Xing Tian’s raised hand.

“The child is right. Even if the answer is obtained through torture, it won’t be convincing.”

Seeing the one-eyed white-robed man shake his head, Xiao Yan’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

“Well, since you’re unwilling to speak, I won’t force you.”

With that, Xiao Yan stood up and walked towards the other white-robed individuals, intending to ask others.

At that moment, Queen Medusa suddenly spoke up.

“Xiao Li’s brother.”

“Hmm?”

Xiao Yan turned to look at Queen Medusa in the air, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

“I know what you’re worried about, but I still have to say,” Queen Medusa summoned a phantom snake in her hand, casually wrapping it around the one-eyed white-robed man’s neck, tightening it, “in terms of integrity, perhaps your sister can’t compare to you, but in terms of methods, you are far inferior to your sister.”

“I have also experienced what your sister said. Your so-called righteousness is too troublesome.”

“In many cases, things in this world cannot be solved by your kind of legitimate means.”

“More often than not, illegitimate means are absolutely necessary.”

As Queen Medusa spoke, the phantom snake around the one-eyed white-robed man’s neck tightened more and more, just as he was about to suffocate, the phantom snake suddenly loosened.

As the one-eyed white-robed man gasped for breath, Queen Medusa had already landed in front of him.

Bowing slightly, the golden snake child looked down at the one-eyed white-robed man, whose eyes were already filled with fear.

The name of Queen Medusa was absolutely terrifying in the North Western Region! No one was unaware of Queen Medusa’s reputation!

“The concerns of Xiao Li’s brother are many, but I have no such concerns.” Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes slightly, the slender snake pupils staring firmly at the one-eyed white-robed man, emitting a chilling aura unique to snakes. “Do you want to know how I torture those who refuse to speak?”

Feeling the pressure emanating from Queen Medusa and the clear intimidation in her words, the one-eyed white-robed man couldn’t take it anymore.

His heart was pounding violently, his expression extremely fearful, and he immediately shouted out.

“It’s the Yun Lan Sect! The force behind us is the Yun Lan Sect!!!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire frontline fell silent.

Among them, one woman was filled with shock and disbelief.

The current sect master of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun.
